Mi-24 Hind-E

Topic: Mi-24 Hind-E

Hello guys is it correct that the Mi-24 Hind-E was or is one of the worlds heaviest armed and protected attack helicopters? Anyone with any good links for the chopper maby with movies or sutch? Or just knowledge Send me a postcard: Im not talking about the worlds best up-to-date technology here now . Armed and protected. And anyone that knows about the military conflicts these helicopters have been involved in? I am curious to hear about what happened to the helicopters?

But I really doubt how usefull the helo's can be in real combat, too easy to be shot down:

Hello FlyingFrog as usual it is great to have you here on the topics of mine, and sir..... Yes with those guys armed with Hong Ying 5 Tm any helicopter crew would turn their machines away thats for sure

Thanks FlyingFrog

Well it was an article in a older Soldiers of Fortune magazine at the local barber shop where I brevity laid my eyes on this article. It was mercenaries in africa that used Mi-17 Hip-H helicopters to patrool an area where rebel forces operated. And then I thougt about the Russian Mi-24 Hind and the movie Rambo III where they had some kind of replica of Mi-24s flying around in Afghanistan. But I have never read any articles about the Mi-24 Hind elswhere? So Im just curious if there was any flyboys or other military guys out here that know anything about the helicopters from the field. They Look so damn nice dont they? Like flying forts or something 8)
